Description

Dry Hill Cottage, also known as The Old Cottage, is a timber-framed house dating from the 17th century or earlier. It has been divided into two dwellings. The main elevation features two storeys with three very wide windows. It has a high-pitched tiled roof with a returned gable on the left side and a compound ridge stack. The first floor is tile hung and has red brick dressings. The ground floor windows are 19th-century casements, which are set beneath brick hoodmoulds. There are modern extensions to the right of Dry Hill Cottage. Inside, much of the timber framing is exposed.
